There’s always someone to blame

Maybe if society was not so fixated on looks and image, people would believe it when they were told that being a beautiful person was more important than good looks.

I find people more attractive if I like them as people, so what’s inside affects how I see their external appearance. This works in reverse as well. As a consequence I can never quiet get the being attracted to celebrities bit, as I don’t know them as people.

Sadly I think we all have a touch of double standards here. We all have “looks” we like better than others, even if we do not judge people.

Hopefully however that doesn’t make us treat people badly, and in this case, turn on our own wife and daughter, whatever the deceptions in the first place.

It says a huge amount about the man and their relationship that he couldn’t find a way of understanding his wife’s dilemma in a judgemental word. Or perhaps as Wordy suggests, how you bait your hook determines which fish you catch.

I havn’t opened the link on the story I don’t know if this area is covered….if it is and I’m wrong then it serves me right for not reading it :lol:
I for one know I can be quite shy meeting new people, and have hang ups about my body and looks….and yes I know we should all accept who we are and how we are and if others don’t like it well then it’s their problem but most women (not all I know) wear makeup … I know I have to else I will scare people…thats not me being natural to my looks and my hair is greying terribly..infact if I didn’t colour it I probably would be grey all over…as I have had greys from the age of 14

I agree though this case is ridiculous and obviously there must be other issues which have lead to such pettiness

Hey – I’ve been grey since my teens as well – nothing you can do about it. The Lord giveth and so on.

Thank God we aren’t all plastic Hollywood copies, although we kinda compare ourselves to them. Strange how people find other people who are attracted to them, despite all their perceived flaws. Aint the world a fine place?

Anyway Kenty, you have deceived us. You never told us you colour your hair. Expect the law suit by tomorrow!

:wink: :lol:
